FREE HAND: Art and Animation Cinema in Italy (1957-77)
The Museo di Roma in Trastevere hosts A mano libera. Arte e cinema d’animazione in Italia, an exhibition project dedicated to the connections between Italian artists and animated films between 1957 and 1977. The project is part of a PRIN, a research project financed by the MUR entitled La ‘golden age’ of Italian animation from the economic boom to the years of lead (1957- 1977), promoted by the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and the Università degli Studi RomaTre. It will be on display from 13 June to 12 October.
Roma Capitale, Assessorato alla Cultura, Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali, promotes the exhibition. Zètema Progetto Cultura museum services.
A mano libera (Freehand) – curated by Bruno Di Marino – takes into consideration about one hundred works of various types (drawings, paintings, storyboards, rodovetri, backdrops, puppets, photographic works, etc.) and about thirty films, all made over a twenty-year period, 1957-1977, the period in which – among other things – ‘Carosello’, the successful TV programme aired, which not only influenced Italian consumption and customs, but also helped to consolidate Italian animation from a productive point of view.
